Chapter 314: Chapter 314: How Many Forces Are Backing Her Up?
Qiao Yun carefully scrutinized the incredibly flirtatious Pei Ya and asked with concern, “Are you ill?”
“Do you have dicine?” Pei Ya retorted instinctively.
Qiao Yun: “Hmph.”
Pei Ya: “…”
“I’m sorry, Professor Qiao, I was wrong! Please don’t punish !”
He swore that he had just blurted it out, and he definitely hadn’t actually intended to ask Professor Qiao for dicine.
...
“I was just joking to cheer you up.”
Unfortunately, Professor Qiao wasn’t feeling romantic at all and still had that cold expression. Now, there was even a look of disgust added to her face.
Pei Ya: Okay, Professor Qiao is disgusted with him.
“I have sothing to do, I need to leave.” Qiao Yun turned around to go, pretending not to know this flirty guy in front of her.
Pei Ya quickly called out to her, “I actually have sothing serious to talk to you about.”
Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow, her voice indifferent: “What is it?”
“I’m taking you to a show,” Pei Ya said with a tone mixed with schadenfreude.
Qiao Yun hesitated for a mont, then shook her head in refusal, “Not now, I’ve made a promise to visit the Li Family, can’t break my word. Ask earlier next ti.”
Pei Ya felt an inexplicable toothache, it was Li Hanzhou again, this cultured scum.
Is the Li Group going bankrupt? They don’t do their proper work, always just bothering Professor Qiao.
Clearly harboring ulterior motives.
Ever seen soone willingly serve themselves up like a plump cabbage? There it is right now.
Pei Ya thought it over and decided it wasn’t right, the cabbage didn’t know better, he had to be the protector of the cabbage.
“How about this, I’ll take you to the Li Family first, then we’ll go watch the play. That way it doesn’t count as breaking your promise.”
“Okay,” Qiao Yun thought his logic was sound.
And if Pei Ya was looking for her, it must be sothing important.
After Qiao Yun got into the car, Pei Ya started the car and casually asked her, “What are you going to the Li Family for?”
Qiao Yun paused, feeling it better not to tell Pei Ya about the gift, otherwise it seed she would witness an overly excited Pei Ya.
She could tell that Pei Ya despised Li Hanzhou, probably viewing him as a rivalry in his career.
“Delivering sothing.”
Pei Ya assud it was sothing for Li Miao, and did not ask further.
Qiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief…
Raising children is not easy, you have to always watch their mood.
…
At the Lu Family.
Lu Shiran was just heading out when he saw Lu Rui bolting in urgently, he raised his hand to greet, “Littl…”
Before he could finish saying ‘uncle’, Lu Rui had already zood past.
Lu Shiran: ???
This was the first ti he had ever seen his uncle so rash.
Could it be a big issue? Was the Lu Family going bankrupt? Was he going to be holess?
Lu Shiran’s mind went wild with thoughts, ultimately coming to a conclusion.
If they went bankrupt, he wouldn’t have to endure his mom forcing him to take over the family wealth anymore. How wonderful!
Lu Shiran, carefree as ever, humd a tune and left the house cheerfully.
Lu Rui, having learned from the old lady that the old master was in the conservatory, sprinted all the way.
“Dad—!”
“Snip!”
The old master glared, watching his carefully nurtured peony cut down by scissors, lying quietly on the ground.
He was petrified.
“Dad, I have sothing to tell you,” Lu Rui said excitedly.
The old master, trembling, pointed a finger, “Unfilial son!”
Lu Rui was extrely puzzled, how had he suddenly beco an unfilial son?
The old master, fire in his eyes, said, “Speak of the matter, you better tell it’s sothing serious.”
This entire garden, he had grown with his own hands, and now one flower was gone; it broke his heart.
Lu Rui had no ti to care for the old master’s emotions and directly dropped a bombshell.
“I already know where Qiaoqiao’s painting ca from.”
The old man straightened up at these words.
“It was painted by her grandfather, not your grandfather, but the grandfather who adopted her, that person is Qiao An!”
The grandfather’s hand trembled, accidentally cutting another peony.
He questioned if he had heard wrong.
You must be joking, his granddaughter being raised by Qiao An was too fantastical.
The grandfather sowhat couldn’t believe it, even thinking that Lu Rui was just fooling around.
He said sternly, “You aren’t lying to ? You aren’t joking with , are you?”
Lu Rui explained, “Why would I joke about this? It’s absolutely true, more real than real gold, Qiaoqiao admitted it herself, we were too narrow-minded to notice it.”
The grandfather was so shocked he was rendered speechless for a good while before trembling, “Is it really true?”
Lu Rui nodded, his face devoid of any joke.
The grandfather was still a bit dazed, unable to even care for his beloved peonies.
He suddenly rembered the day of the exhibition, when Master Qi had ntioned Qiao Yun’s na to him.
At the ti, he had been puzzled how Master Qi knew Qiao Yun, but it turned out it wasn’t because Master Qi was gossipy, but because he had known Qiao Yun for a long ti.
After all, Master Qi and Qiao An were close friends.
The grandfather was excited inside, “I never thought I would misjudge in my old age, luckily after Qiaoqiao ca back, we didn’t mistreat her, or Master Qi would probably have co knocking on our door.”
Lu Rui quietly added, “And Pei Ya, probably would stand up for Qiaoqiao too, he seems to know Master Qiao as well.”
Grandfather: “…”
Shock face.
What forces did his seemingly pitiful granddaughter have backing her up in secret?
Master Qiao really left a remarkable support system for his granddaughter.
“But why would Qiaoqiao conceal her experiences? Letting us believe she grew up in the countryside.”
